In March, the Central Plains is already a thriving scenery of warblers flying and grass, while in the distant north, chūn meaning is still in the bud, and the fields are a little less white, and the greenery is gradually lush.

The ploughing time in the northern Xinjiang is later than that of the Central Plains, mainly to wait for the frozen soil to completely melt, and the ploughing is late, the sowing time is naturally late, the growing period is short, and the harvest is naturally unsatisfactory. Liaodong was regarded by the Central Plains people as a wild land, and it did make sense.

However, for the attached Hu people, as long as they master the skills of farming, it is better to live in Liaodong than to wander in the grasslands, so they will not starve every day, and they can only eat a full meal occasionally.

It is precisely because they know that they cherish it, so as early as February, when the snow has not disappeared, the Wuhuan people are ready to plow. The frozen soil is not completely untouchable, but it takes a little more effort, and now with a little effort, there will be a good harvest in the fall, although the Hu people are not very smart, but this account can still be calculated.

However, the planned chūn ploughing did not go ahead as planned, as there was a war.

Since the beginning of the first month, the atmosphere in the county has been very tense, and everyone knows the ins and outs.

Youzhou has changed people to call the shots, but everyone is still the same as before, when they see an opportunity to take advantage of it, they want to partner up to make some extra money, Ma Wuye grass is not fat, there is no extra money, how can Rìzi be better? As a result, he was unlucky and hit the iron plate, although everyone did not know the reason for the withdrawal, but the hussar general drove away the Xianbei people, and now it is very clear that he wants to take revenge.

So, despite their reluctance, thinking of the legendary Hussar General's ruthless style of killing people like mowing grass and showing no mercy to the Hu people, the tribal warriors had to put down their hoes, pick up their bows and swords, and gather under the command of Lord Bunton, ready to resist and defend their homeland.

It is inevitable that there will be some complaints and accusations, and some people complain that they do not inquire clearly, so they use swords and soldiers without permission, causing great trouble to the tribe; Some people also felt that Bunton was too nervous, and felt that even if there was a war, it would be too late to wait until the end of Chūn ploughing to assemble, and there was no benefit from last winter, and this year's harvest was delayed, so what will everyone eat in winter?

However, the decision proved to be wise, and as soon as March began, the Han army began to advance westward, and the size of the Han army in the area of Jieshi Mountain in Linyu increased dramatically. From the beginning, the pioneer of about 3,000 people has rapidly expanded to 30,000!

War, on the verge of breaking out!

After all, these news are false, and the vast majority of people have no chance to see them in person, and they don't feel deeply enough about the strength of the Han army.

As soon as the ice floe on the sea had almost melted, the sailors of Qingzhou appeared on the coastline.

"It's a boat! Look, what a big ship! The first to witness the arrival of the Qingzhou sailor was a young shepherd, although he did not fall off the horse's back by virtue of his equestrian skills, he was wide enough to stuff the mouth of a big apple, and his round eyes clearly showed the shock in his heart.

What a behemoth that is!

The narrow hull of the ship was like a shuttle on a loom, and the area on the deck was larger than the golden tent of Lord Bunton, and at a glance from a distance, one could see at least thirty or forty Han soldiers, and look at the posture of the people who kept coming out of the cabin, and say that there were hundreds of people on board, and the young shepherd believed it.

What shocked him even more was the speed of the ship's sailing, against the backdrop of the boundless sea, he didn't notice anything from a distance, the ship looked as if it was stationary. But as the distance between the two sides became closer and closer, the shepherd found that the speed of the ship was not even at the time when he was galloping his horse wildly and raising the speed of the horse to the extreme!

Watching the streamlined bow break through the waves, the towering mast piercing the sky like a straight sword, and the huge sails blowing the wind, making the sea ship so large that it could easily carry dozens or hundreds of people to cross the sea at a speed faster than a galloping horse, and he was not the only one who was stunned.

There were a total of eight rangers in this patrol, and at this moment there were eight more statues on the beach, with different appearances and figures, only the expressions were exactly the same.

After a long time, an old shepherd said, "This is the legendary building ship, right?" It's huge! No wonder so much tea can be transported from thousands of miles away. If it's been so fast, thousands of miles is not too far. ”

The ship of the Qingzhou sailor is actually not the same as the building ship of the Han Dynasty. The latter is not suitable for going to sea, but it is much larger, and from a distance it looks like a hill or a palace on the water.

But for the Karasuma people who have not seen much of the world, the practical sea ships in Qingzhou are enough for them to be shocked. This is also the most incomprehensible thing for the Han people, everyone is human, with two eyes, a mouth, and two hands, how can the Han people build such a huge ship and make it sail freely on the vast sea?

For a time, the hearts of the half-herding and half-farming Karasuma people were full of indescribable envy and yearning. As we all know, the tea that has just become popular in recent years is brought by these sea ships, and it is a treasure with a price compared to gold.

I heard that these ships will also buy a lot of furs and livestock back to the Central Plains. In Liaodong, these things that are commonplace on the grassland can be exchanged for a small price, specifically, a small pinch of tea can be exchanged for a complete cowhide, and one or two tea leaves can be exchanged for a cow or two horses, or five sheep.

And these things are in demand in the Central Plains, and they can be exchanged for more tea and pottery as soon as they change hands.

"Ah Da, if we had one too, how nice would it be? In the future, I will never have to worry about food and clothing again. The young shepherd's face was full of longing.

"Anmosi, don't think nonsense." Before his father could reply, another old shepherd said, "Look carefully, the flag on the ship, the tiger with wings, is the symbol of the hussars." They're here to fight, not to send ships! ”

As soon as the old shepherd reminded him, envy and longing soon turned into fear, and the herdsmen realized that the clouds of war had literally weighed on the heads of the Karasuma people, in a way that was unheard of, but shocking enough!

Seeing that the young shepherd turned a deaf ear and was still walking towards the seaside, as if he wanted to see more clearly, the others also persuaded one after another: "The vulture father is right, An Mosi, don't go any further, there are a lot of Han soldiers on the ship, I don't know if they will go ashore, if they really come, we will not have enough people to fill in the gaps between their teeth." ”

"It's okay, I want to look more carefully, if there is no war in the future, I will also learn to build one, but then Ah Da and Ah Niang will not have to starve." Ann Mo Si was rather stubborn.

This was the first time he had the opportunity to see the Han people's sea ships up close, although there were also ships in Liaodong, but Lord Gongsun Du watched those ships very closely, even if it was a bureaucrat in Liaodong, he couldn't see them easily, let alone he, a nobody from Wuhuan. You know, before this year's chūn day, the two families had been fighting fiercely.

An Mosi really wants to learn shipbuilding, he wants to learn not only shipbuilding, after learning to farm, he feels that everything about the Han people is so magical, if he can, he wants to learn as much as possible, so that the relatives and friends in the clan don't have to fight anymore, Ah Da doesn't need to be old, and he also rides a horse and rides as a sentry.

"Don't worry, the bigger the ship, the less easy it is to dock, this is what I heard when I went to Liaodong last time." Hearing his father's call, An Mosi finally stopped, but he didn't mean to look back, but turned back with a smile and waved his hand at him.

He had heard that the big ships in Liaodong could only dock after finding a suitable spot. This place is close to the mouth of the Yushui River, and the current is so rapid that the big ship will not be able to reach the shore anyway.

"Anyway, you get out of ......the way first," the old man was halfway through his words, and his eyes suddenly widened again, revealing a look of horror, as if he had seen the waves rise steeply and crash towards the shore. The expressions of the others were similar, obviously not an isolated incident, An Mo didn't know why, turned his head and saw a scene that he would never forget.

It is true that the boat did not dock, at least twenty paces or so from the seashore, and it did not even drop anchor, but the people on board had already come down - to be precise, there was only one person who disembarked, and he did not use the boat to ferry, so he jumped up from the side of the ship, and flew high in the air by the height of the side of the ship, like a bird with its wings spread and flapping its wings high!

It seemed like a century long, but in fact it was only the blink of an eye, and the man had already fallen, and the distance of twenty paces was actually a leap, and landed directly on the shore. He pulled out the halberd behind his back with one hand, and rushed up like that, leaping like a fly, roaring like thunder: "Donglai Tai Shici is here, don't run if you have a kind!" ”

Wuhuan has been attached for a long time, and the clansmen can understand the Chinese language, such as An Mosi, who yearns for the Central Plains civilization and has a relatively high level of Chinese literacy, can even easily distinguish that the other party's sentence is inconsistent.

The name of the Han generals before the war is to deter the enemy, and the later ones are usually 'who dares to fight' and the like, in order to enhance the momentum, what kind of charter is this 'don't run'?

It was precisely because of some unnecessary thoughts in his mind that An Mo was stunned, and finally reacted, and everyone was frightened by the Han general's fierceness, and before he rushed up, they got on their horses and fled.

I seem to be running slowly!

People who think too much have this problem, have a lot of thoughts, and can't keep up with their actions, and as a result, they look like a fool. When An Mosi found out that the clansmen, including his father, had already scattered birds and beasts, he finally remembered that he seemed to be the closest, the most dangerous, and the most should have started early.

He found out too late.

In the short distance, the speed of a fierce general like Tai Shi Ci sprinting with all his strength is definitely faster than that of a galloping horse, and his clansmen can only rely on their companions to distract Tai Shi Ci's attention, so they can only hope to escape.

His luck was not bad, when Tai Shi Ci rushed past him like a whirlwind, he didn't kill him, but knocked him out with a casual knock. (To be continued.) )
